" Yet the myth of Bush as a bipartisan president who operates above the fray is relentlessly promoted by Bush and his minions. Just this week on the campaign trail, Bush took credit for a huge increase in education funding. Yet he has cut funding below what it was last year, making a mockery of the “Leave No Child Behind” education bill he signed last year with Sen. Ted Kennedy’s blessing. Bush uses words and rhetoric to create an image quite different from reality, a tactic that would normally invite condemnation from both the media and political foes." msnbc.com >>>>>>>>>>>> Bush signed the Education Bill. Bush had his picture taken with Ted Kennedy which is what W wanted. Then, W abandoned the Education Bill that they had agreed upon.

" Senator Ted Kennedy Delivers"……"Response on Bush's Broken Promise to America's Schools" "We cannot remain silent when the President now fails to fund his own education bill. It was a wonderful promise -- but it has become a hollow promise. In fact, his budget proposal actually cuts funds for public school reform, while providing 4 billion dollars to private schools -- and 600 billion dollars in new tax breaks for the wealthy. With the President's cuts in education, 18,000 fewer teachers will be trained next year." Yet the myth of Bush as a bipartisan president who operates above the fray is relentlessly promoted by Bush and his minions. Just this week on the campaign trail, Bush took credit for a huge increase in education funding.
